Replacing my cats (won't have to pass emissions here in WI) with a 2" Magnaflow. Just came today and I figured I could walk into any muffler shop and they could just weld some spare 2" flanges up for me while I wait.....WRONG!
Nobody stocks 2" 2-bolt flanges, (CarX, Midas, Autozone, Napa, Carquest, Advance, Local muffler guy....).

I see that R/B has flanges(I really don't feel like paying $30 + shipping), anybody know of anyone else....especially local to Milwaukee?
thanks

 

hmmm that is a tuffy i would buy a cheap gasket and run down to the local machine shop they could wip it out in now time, the cost im not sure i wouldnt charge you more then 10 bucks but ask them first.

 

Why can't they reuse the old flanges? Cut the old cat out close to the cat, and then weld the new cat to the stubs...

Otherwise you'll have to buy RB or convert all 4 flanges to something more readily available.

 

weird my local muffler guys have generic flanges...

the RB ones are $$$ but they are thick and won't warp, so you do get what you pay for, kinda

 

i had the same problem...i converted all of mine to the 3 bolt...although i went to nappa and they had a chevy 2 bolt flange that would of worked but it was really really thin...all i could think of was it looking like a banana after some heat got to it..

 

Cut the old flanges off the cats and save some money

 

I did a quick internet search and found them. JC Whitney has them for $4.49

Thanks Dude.....
Do you suppose these will stand up to the heat without warping? That would be my only concern with a JC Whitney product.

 

i wanna do a full v-band exhaust.
